The Happy Spring Garden

Harry the Gnome is smiling and the sun is shining. Daffodils wave cheerily enticing me over with their playful charm. The closer I get, the heady sweet scent of Hyacinth intoxicates my senses. I breathe in deeply eager to consume as much of their perfume as possible.

I struggle to think of a sweeter aroma than that of the hyacinth and as my eye wanders over to the delicate lilac pansies, I can't help but compare them to the crepe paper flowers that we once made in junior school. Our small fingers covered in a runny white glue that had the distinct odour of marzipan, we would clumsily stick bright paper flowers onto our handmade Mothers day cards, excited to take them home to Mum. Pretty, perfect Pansies, another flower in the garden that conjures up happy memories of my childhood. My happy spring garden.

Happy happy happy , that's hwo these photos make me feel. Loving the colour, the cheeky gnome and I too am a sucker for the hyacinths scent. Best plant to have indoors ever because of that - even drowns out my kids pongs ;)
